Just because “Christian” people go to church, doesn’t mean they are exempt from hurting children. All institutions, especially churches, should have background checks on their people who deal with children!

Just because there is no law requiring it, it doesn’t absolve anyone from the moral responsibility of failing to do background checks. I know that there is a cost involved, but have the applicant pay for the background check as part of the employment process. When I got my first teaching job, I had to pay for them to run a criminal background check on me. I gladly did it. In this day and age, there is no excuse for not taking every precaution to make sure predators do not have access to kids.

Agreed. they should not have to be required in any free society. Therefore, these same churches should also be subject to the same penalties as any other entity that fails to perform basic due diligence.
